Former baseball player Curt Schilling has announced that he is not running for Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.
"Regardless of the amount of support and outreach that's been given to me, it just did not make sense," said Schilling, a conservative who campaigned in the past for George W. Bush and John McCain.
This leaves the state Sen. Scott Brown as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. A recent poll showed Brown severely trailing the Democratic frontrunner, state Attorney General Martha Coakley.

Ex-pitchers do not good politicians make. (See Jim Bunning.)

This guy lives in AZ, doesn't he? He's as much of a MA native as I am (and I live there).

I believe Schilling lives in Medfield, MA.
He was great in '04 pitching with a bloody ankle and helping deliver the series to the Sox. After that, those fascist idiots on sports radio, Dennis and Callahan and others, started fawning over every stupid wingnut thing he said and suddenly he sees himself as Mr. Schilling Goes To Washington.
STFU Curt. Nobody cares what you think about anything other than baseball.
